Frequency is amazing. One of the best endings ever.

Memento is such a trip! [sp]I love the character fools himself, and thus the audience. He's not playing us, he's playing his own mind.[/sp]

What's cool about The Prestige is that both leads pretend to be one step ahead when they have no idea where they're standing. Neither is totally "in the know" and is consumed by the secrets of his rival. It's more of a mind bender for them than for us. That rocks.

Never Talk to Strangers blew my mind when I was a kid. :lol: I was so impressed back then. Hehe.

House of Games is a great psychological movie. Margaret's breakdown was quite a ride.
 
I hated Mullholland Drive. :lol: I didn't understand it, I didn't like it, I didn't know who was who. It was one of the weirdest experiences I've ever had watching a movie. I was still in high school, or maybe even still in Jr High and I remember being :eek: at the whole thing. Hehe.

It is a very decent mystery, but I just didn't enjoy it.
 
I :love: Frequency.

The Game was a great movie and Memento was a mind bender.

It brings to mind another movie that was hard to grasp, "Mulholland Drive"
 
I was surprised by the remake they did of the movie Psycho starring Vince Vaughn as Bates and Anne Heche as the victim!

It was like exact to the original, it was really well done!
 
That was a movie whose ending stuck with me for a few days afterwards...kept me thinking you know.
 
:lol: Well, I first saw this in ninth grade and I'm also 25... And still confused :lol:
 
:lol: Np don't feel bad, its not exactly a new movie :D I should have watched it ages ago.
 
Identity was cool, but it played the audience too much. It was trying too hard to keep the secret until the end.



Well, that's ironic! I'm sorry! :lol: Now I feel so bad.
 
:lol: I cant believe I actually got spoiled for Psycho coming here :lmao: serves me right for having it on DVD and not watching it.
 
oh I so agree about almost every movie mentioned.

I will throw in The Prestige...I still need to see that again!!! Even after reading the book, that still threw me....

another under rated but very good one is: Frequency
 
There are a great deal of movies that I thought were intense Psychologically, but those are the best types of movies.

I agree, Identity was an awesome movie that really played with you.

One movie I've seen in recent years that I really loved was "Suspect Zero" starring Ben Kingsley and Aaron Eckhart.

Great story, intense and intriguing and a great ending!
 
I absolutely agree on American Beauty!!

I was quite shocked by "The skeleton key"... I didn't see the end coming at all and I couldn't stop thinking about it afterwards.
 
Hee, thanks! :love: I was in 9th grade when I was spoiled, and I'm 25 and I still don't have the heart. lol But you make it sound like such a trip! Maybe I should watch it after all. Hehe.
 
I agree about staying out of places that you might spoil you, but lately, it's impossible. There's an article about the culture of spoilers, and I have to say, people are obsessed. You'd have to stop going to the Internet, reading the paper and even watching tv to stay unspoiled. It's by now common practice to discuss movies and tv shows before they come out as if everybody is in on it.



I was able to stay unspoiled for The Sixth Sense. I don't know how, looking back on it, but it was great watching the movie without the nagging, "I know how this ends" feeling.

I agree with everything about Psycho. There was a special on Hitchcock, and it was mostly him explaining how he did movies and why. It was fascinating. He talked about how to build intrigue and all he said was possibly Psycho's whole structure in words.
 
I wasnt too fond of American Beauty, it was worth watching once but I wouldnt watch it again, there was something weird about it, though I loved some of the scenes like the end.
